How are you doing? someone asks, and you answer that you're doing fine. And you are.  But you don't add that you are not the same person you used to be, or that you don't know where that person went. Or that you are beginning to suspect she may never be coming back.  This is uncharted territory. We will consider how to live and move and have our being in a new world we did not choose to enter.  But we do know that others  have walked the road we're walking and found hope. At the end of our time together, we'll have gotten a little closer to doing that ourselves.
